I have never heard anyone claim that VPNs only work if DHCP can be trusted. Note that that means trusting all devices on a network because any device can be a DHCP server.

This is a great find and a real security bug. I cannot believe how many people are downplaying this work.
How about just fire them with no golden handshake if they don't do a good job, just like any other employee.
I love this type of optimisation story.

Interesting to note that his "in theory" best performance still calls to lxml. A true in theory best performance would surely be in the multiple Gigabyte per second range (if simdjson's performance is taken as a goal), and not 0.56 seconds to process 230 MiB which is only about half a GBps. Half a gigabyte per second is probably more than sufficient for most uses, so I'm splitting hairs somewhat.

Here is the issue for slow sax parsing in encoding/xml. No work on it since around 2020:

> Sure, you are welcome to contact your insurance BEFORE you obtain services and find out what they will cover. In fact, its incumbent upon you to do that, and not expect HCP's to do that for you.

Had experience with that too. Insurance company will not give you a straight answer as to what’s covered or not- as for example the anesthesiologist may be out of network and you’ll never know until it’s too late. The health care provider won’t give you that info either. So you end up rolling the dice and hoping it all is covered at the end of the day.
I probably wasn't explicit enough with "cloud" but I mean running your own isolated workloads with at minimum virtual machines and virtual isolated storage (block or otherwise). From a topological perspective my home DC resembles most major clouds other than the fact that there are not two sites.
A website like this is not required. It's just nice to have. Somehow we've managed to use email without this website it for the decades that email has supported HTML.

Caniuse exists too, does that mean HTML and CSS are broken? Nah, it's just a useful resource to help people decide what tradeoffs to make.

What if house prices are falling?
HTML email was such a tragic mistake.

I think the whole mess could have been averted if Markdown had been invented about twenty years earlier.
The value of it to you is how much you're willing to pay for it. There really isn't much getting away from that.
FWIW, many email clients -- before Gmail dumbed down email forever and no one seems to understand that email replies form a tree anymore -- also had (and maybe some still do?) that way of viewing the world.
Speak for yourself. The conclusion was reasonable.
By this standard, we should go back to Lynx, because rich web browsers are way more dangerous than this extreme edge case that this guy invented because he doesn’t like HTML email.
I want an EV but I rent and my landlord won't bother to have a charger installed. I even have an existing 120v socket running next to where I park so it would be pretty trivial to install. But he pays for electricity (no separate meter) so he's disincentivized from doing so.

Ultimately I would be the ideal user of an electric car - 99.99% of my trips are less than 200 miles. But I suspect that many people are held back by being renters and not having access to charging at home. Unless that problem gets fixed (and I strongly doubt it will; landlords that install chargers will probably mark electricity up 5-10x so that it's just slightly cheaper than gas) then electric car adoption among renters will be tepid at best.
But this heavily undermines one major selling point VPN providers use: safety on public wifi and other untrusted networks.
The linked one for J2ME phones is also fascinating: https://github.com/baumschubser/hotpants
>> (this whole thing about Hamas being the duly elected representatives of Gaza is one of their talking points).

It doesn't matter whose talking point it is. Hamas was elected fair and square in proper democratic elections. They are the only legitimate authority in Gaza. Those are the facts on the ground and there is no world where it makes sense to ignore this.

I suspect you assume this somehow justifies the atrocities committed by Israel, along the lines of Isaac Herzog's comment about innocent civilians in Gaza [1] but that's just nuts. We're not going to ignore reality because a bunch of blood-crazed fascists are trying to twist it to their needs.

I don't reject HTML email, but I always have my client set to read plaintext. 99% of the time, the worst thing that occurs is simply some garbled hyperlinks for a verification email or similar.

Personally, I don't have any need for HTML email in my daily life, and the only emails I occasionally get that are very obviously 'broken' in some way in plaintext mode are usually marketing emails or other messages I don't want to read in the first place.

So, I figure, may as well keep it disabled since plaintext is more consistent and easier to read, and there is significantly less surface area for exploits when you don't need to bundle half a browser to view a couple of paragraphs.
All but a tiny fringe of people everywhere favor the dismantling of Hamas --- something that has largely been accomplished at this point. For normal people who aren't poisoned by Twitter, the contention isn't that Hamas is worth saving, but rather that Israel's operations amount in practice to a collective punishment of Gazans for the actions of Hamas. I am deeply sympathetic to this argument, and disagree with most of what you have to say.
I have always hated the recommendation that people should avoid paying off debt and instead leverage that money in interest paying investments.

Sure, on paper you seem better off when you keep a mortgage at 5% and have investments paying 9%, but you're locked in place. That 4% in potential gains means you aren't nearly as flexible when it comes to a job and income, selling your house may be untenable or impossible if markets fall meaningfully, and ultimately you are living in a house that the bank owns while someone took your money and replaced it with IOUs.
Yes! So with the model I mentioned, there would be fractional influence as well! So LA County would likely be its own district, and it would have more voting power than several Central Valley counties combined.
There's a lot of truth to be found out there that is useful, technical, and utterly devoid of public attention.

No need to keep to the Roman convention of renaming Israel to Palestine.

It's the historically accepted term for the region. The Zionists themselves used it in their literature. Quibbles about it are disingenuous and absolutely irrelevant to the current situation on the ground.

Anti-Zionism means exactly that, against the right for Jews for self determination in their native land.

No, it means being against an ideology which fundamentally rejects the right of self-determination to the non-Jewish population living on their land.

Israel as an ethnostate is vague

It's now written into the Basic Laws of Israel,
thanks to 2018 Nation-State bill.

If you define "Palestinian native land" as ...

We all know what it what is meant by "Palestine" and "Palestinians". And even Jabotinsky recognized the Palestinians as indigenous.

I took the article as these businesses keep a healthy amount of assets and don’t feel an obsessive need to buy things for the business they can’t afford, or scale at all costs.

If everything they have is paid for, and people are still buying stuff from their business, their prices can adjust with inflation. Some of their cash might get devalued in a period of hyper inflation, but if they still have enough to get by, as well as new sales, they should be ok. They hopefully also diversified their assets in some things that will handle an inflationary period and don’t just have mattresses full of money.

Side channels are a huge danger. An example is cryptographic functions have been cracked because of timing differences based on the key or data being encrypted. This is why cryptographic ciphers are implemented in constant time code (i.e. code that always runs in the same amount of time regardless of its input).
Great post.

An issue I have with it is the way it frames the speed of a language, e.g., Python, C, etc., especially here:

> I implemented the same program using pure C with libxml, which has a SAX API. [...] It takes just 0.56 seconds to process our 230 MiB input file, which is very impressive given the other results, but also not very surprising. This is C, after all.

What the author is actually comparing here of course is the quality of the GCC (or LLVM or whatever) code generator, not "C" versus e.g. Go (the programming language and/or its standard libraries).

There are enough misapprehensions about the source of good/bad performance of Runtimes, Not Languages. Quips like this (that it's "C, after all") don't help that discussion.
I've seen Doctor King Drive (Dr King Dr) in a few different towns too. One of them typographically differentiated it like "DR King Dr" though.
The comment you’re replying to is misleading. SVG supports JavaScript but only if you load the SVG directly in your browser or inline it fully into the DOM. Using it as a normal image tag, by reference or with inlined data:, it’s inert and harmless from a JavaScript perspective.

However, for a long time browsers were susceptible to denial of service attacks from maliciously crafted XML files, which SVG could exploit. (“Million laughs”). This doesn’t work in current versions but it might be a reason that SVGs are rejected.

Microsoft is tying executive pay to security performance
It seems like the main problem with any productivity metric, is that once you tell your workers what the metric is, it will be gamed.

However if you collect the metrics in secret, and only use them as a guide for where productivity could be improved, it seems they could be more useful.

I wonder if any engineering managers are doing something like that?

I guess it would be hard to scale to a large organization, as the you would need to share the metrics with the line managers.
That's pretty sweet. What kind of hardware is necessary for this?
Is this intended as sarcasm? Markdown renders to html, it's an authoring syntax that happens to be readable in it's "code" state. How would it solve email?

After reading the article and the comments, I noticed there weren't statistics backing up either the article or many of the comments. In one of the comments the author of the article states their proposed solution would to put two bollards on each corner at an intersection. Considering the unkind descriptions of engineers abilities, I hoped their argument would be well thought out. You can judge for yourself.

https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/road-users/pedestr...

According to this webpage in 2021 there were 7522 pedestrian deaths on public roads.

The first statistic to standout was only 23.6% or about 1775 actually occur at an intersection.

The next statistic I found interesting was that only 18.63% of fatalities occur during the daytime. This strongly suggests the issue is visibility and not drivers cutting corners or plowing into corners.

Alcohol was involved in 43% of accidents and 24% of that the pedestrian was the only one drunk.

From my very short look at statistics, I believe bollards would have almost no effect on pedestrian safety. It's pretty easy to realize that it is people that are in the street already and aren't being seen. There isn't an epidemic of cars on sidewalks.
Black also behaves decently wrt empty lines. It does have some opinions on that, like two lines between functions and in some other contexts, and at most one line elsewhere. But inside function bodies, it will collapse multiple consequent blank lines into a single one, but it will never remove them altogether, so it's still possible to use them to logically structure code.

But can’t those all go to zero overnight, leaving you with nothing? The same could happen with a home, but that’s what insurance is for. So I guess the gamble is between a natural or fire disaster or our financial system collapsing.
I see this a lot and I think it hurts more than it helps. People read this as, “if I want to be rich, I need to take out debt.” And they almost always take on debt for the wrong reasons.
Here in Australia, the "Series 9 Pro 9467cc" apparently costs $449. That's a pretty steep ask when a perfectly passable Remington goes for $23.
There are keyboard shortcuts for navigating up and down the goto definition navigation stack that are absolutely indispensable for this reason (in JetBrains IDEs at least, though I’m sure in other IDE/editors too). Their demo gif is exactly how I would visualize my thought process using this navigation, which is pretty neat! It’s so painful watching people global-search by function name to navigate back to where they just were once you lock this functionality in to your workflow (aaaa you can get there instantly and exactly!)

The base of this project is Turbo Vision Framework, but some other frameworks were also checked to introduce some features to TuiCss, like curses, ncurses, Newt, etc.

The hyperbole on this! The vulnerability, which was only present in some applications, was patched months ago. The Android docs were updated in February[0], to warn future developers.

I'm not saying there aren't, like, various propaganda machines meddling with society. Just that people underestimate the power of dynamical systems to do things without coordinated action. Ideas coordinate on their own with requiring some sort of agent to be "pulling the strings".

> don't forget that democracy is something you fight for every day.

No it's not? Democracy is a steady state that we mostly ignore every day. Over time it tends off course and when it gets too astray we correct it.
I do, because you don't seem to read them:

>> There was a 7-day civil war in Gaza, which Hamas technically started (if that matters to you), back in 2007;

No. Fatah started it. The US funded, armed and trained a Fatah faction to stage a coup against Hamas. The coup backfired and Hamas kicked Fatah out of Gaza.

To be perfectly clear: Fatah and Hamas are different, rival organisations. The 2007 Gaza War was started by Fatah, not Hamas.

Again: it's on wikipedia.

>> (one of the reasons Fatah and Hamas got into it was that Hamas replaced all of the PA's governing institutions --- the courts, the school systems, etc --- with Hamas-designed alternatives),

Yes, because they won the election. So they replaced the public officials with their own. Are you suggesting there is something sinister in that?
If you’re a flight attendant and you lift someone’s heavy bag into an overhead and injure yourself in the process, do you think AA will compensate you for your injury on the job? Or will they say “you shouldn’t have done that” and leave you unable to work?

If a passenger can’t lift the bag into the overhead themselves, perhaps they should check it either before security or at the gate.

Bad reactions all around, certainly. I can think of no quicker way to piss off a crew member with extensive safety and security training than to call them a “Waiter” when they’re the ones tasked with handling life threatening emergencies should they arise.

On the gripping hand, FAs are also trained in deescalation.
Even the dumbest Google search will quickly get you examples of protests against the IDF's operations in Gaza right now. Try [protest (some-Israeli-city)]. I don't care what +972 thinks the Israeli public thinks about Gazans.
Yes, this. Many more would be fine with HTML email if it didn’t work like IE6—and honestly, the only reason it does is because of decades-old enshittification that we failed to address at the time.

Is there something like this for features techies might care about? Like some sort of guarantee of at-rest encryption, SMTP/IMAP/POP/etc support, end user encryption, reasonably fast search, backup/restore, etc.

GNOME Evolution and Thunderbird, at least last I used it, have abysmal search speed, taking seconds to search through a local DB of a few thousand emails. So they're clearly using search tech much inferior to a local DB with indexes.
My point, though, is about confirmation bias. Most people don’t know a lot of people who turn on plaintext email as a point of habit.

It might seem like I’m criticizing the guy, but the thing is, there is a very real problem where people are looking at this from their own tech-forward perspective when this is a topic that affects many more people.
Noticing a pay disparity and concluding that it's due to discrimination is just as much of a post-hoc analysis.
